One Of the most peculiar things in
Booths career is the strong and con-
tinued aversion he has had to revisiting
Washington since the tragedy of
twenty-five years ago, in which his
unhappy brother played so lamenta bic
| part. Since that time he has never
| played an engagement in the national
capital. Though importuned by hun
| dreds of influential people, and though
the public desire to see him there
during the last session of Congress
took the form of great public petition
and guarantee of SIS 600 week, he
resolutely refused to revisit the
scenes bound up with so many unhappy
memories. After the great tragedy he
disappeared from the stage for several
| years altogether; when he re-appeared
it was only to suffer extreme danger;
he was several times fired at by unrea-
soning factional cranks in the audience,
| but he was never harmed. On one oc-
casion bullet whistled by him, and he
coolly marched to the foouights.
pointed out the miscreant who had fired
! the shot, and waited until he was
arrested, when he went on with the
play. His whole life has been one OF
memorable incidents and mourDful as
sociations, and the patience and 8rti-
| tude with which he has borne up under
| all, is one Of the strongest reasons for
the wide respect felt for his name
| throughout the whole world.

A member of Mr.. Booths company re
lates a strange anecdote which he
says is youched for, and which
almost seems like q striking of bal
ance by Fate. 1t was in Philadelphia
only few years ago, at the depot of
one of the railway companies, and q
train was just pulling out of the sta
ton. 1t had already reached high
degree of speed, when man seized the
railing of the front platform on the
rear car, and tried to swing himself
aboard. He missed his footing and

grasp Of some one on the platform, and
raised to a place of safety on the car.
The man who was rescued was Robert
Lincoln. then Secretary of War, and
son of President Lincoln. The man
who rescued him was Edwin Booth.

worlds. Because of his assumed inte-
gritty, he was trusted implicitly, people
of high and low degree carrying nail
lions to him for safe keeping. How well
be deserved the trust was demonstrated
when the bank collapsed and 1t was
discovered that its liabilities asgre-
gated IS 600, 600, much of the money
having been stolen by him. He stopped
in his career of theft only when there
was nothing left to steal and he could
no longer trade on his good name and
credit. There should be less sympathy
less consideration for him than for the
miserable wretch of a common
thief who nips your purse, or
the burglar who obtains a living by
prying into shops and tapping tills.
One can guard against the thief and
burglar, but be cannot protect himself
against the dishonest cashier. Hsrper
seems to have been bad generally.
Standing high in the church and occu-
plying lofty social position he was all
the time SHINING against the laws of
God and man, and committing a crime
against the wife who, like the true
woman, though her heart has been
broken. clings to him with an affection
OF which he is so unworthy. His conf
dental clerk was handsome girl, and
it has transpired within week, through
the publication of intercepted letters,
that his relations with her were
criminal in other respects than fnan-
cially. He even permitted the brazen
girl to upbraid him for comforting more
of his stolen wealth upon his wife than
upon her.
There are good many men like
Harper in this world, and it does not
have tendency to reduce their num-
Der when the community expresses
sympathy when one of them is de
tected in his career of crime and
brought to justice. The judge before
whom Harper was tried and who pro-
nounced the sentence on him may be
thought severe and heartless, but it
would be well if there we're more of such
severity and heartlessness on the
bench, and in society. Greater Ger
taintV of apprehens ion and more sever
ity in the application of the law would
reduce the number of embezziers and
induce more men to lead lives of recti-
tude.

A WISE PREACHER.

The Rev. c. A. Berry, of England,
who received a call to the Plymouth
Church passionate, has declined, and in
doing so has proven himself anything
but goose berry. 1t will be brave or
q foolhardy man, or one in whose
makeup self esteem and conceit con-
troll, who will accept the position and
und srtake to fill the late Henry Ward
Beecher's shoes. Comparisons will
necessarily be drawn, and in view of the
fact that there has so far been devel
oped but one Beecher, those compari-
sons will not materially increase the
admiration and love for his success
sor. Furthermore, Mr.. Berry has
demonstrated his wisdom in show
ing that he knew ne was chosen
less because OF his ability as
q preacher than on account of
his being English, you know. Anglo
phobia has lately reached the climax in
New York, and will soon develop signs
of decline. 1t is one of those manias
which even the immensely rich and
ultra fashionable cannot sustain and
make general. America will be Amer
lean in spite of the efforts Of the snobs to
make it something else. Doubtless Mr..
Berry was sufficiently deep in fore
thought to discover this, and to under
stand that when the resction sets in it
will be anything but popular to ape
foreigners. Perhaps also, the Rev.
Parker incident has had something to
do with inducing Mr.. Berry to recall
his half acceptance of the call.
Mr.. Parker professed such love
and admiration for Beecher that
he desired to preach a lsudatory
sermon on the dead evangelist from
the Iatter's pulpit. He succeeded in
getting Ai:03elI invited to come from
London for the purpose, and after de
hvering the eulogy charged 500 for the
same, his extravagent hotel bills and
other expenses having also been paid.
The congregation and the newspapers
learning the facts, so blackguarded the
thrifty minister that he returned the
money, though not in such manner
as to show that his desire to laud
Beecher wGs inspired by nobler i'm
pulse than the ambition to finger the
money of the wealthy church members.
Mr.. Berry probably thought that the
Plymouth people would soon begin to
think that the 500 sermon
which they proposed to pay
him, was a good deal too much
to give a man who labored for love ia
the cause of the Great Master. At any
rate, whatever induced the eloquent
EngliShman to decline a place which
promised to pay him more than three
times the sum he new receives an
nually, he was wise in sending his
declination, and will have less cause TO
regret his present action than be would
mis- acceptance. AS for Plymouth con-
gregatiou it would be well for it to dis
continue making spectacle OF itself, and
employing a modest, broadmindtd
American minister, settle down to a
more pious and less snowy worship.

A BUNDLE OF STICKS.
Description of the Mammoth
Rift Lost at Sea-.

We take the following description
of the immense raft built in Nova
Scotia and lost at sea while being
towed to New York, from a recent
number OF Harper's Weekly:
On the Both OF November the steam
ship Miranda, of 1900 tons, left New
York, under charter, for the purpose
of towing back to this city, a prodig-
ious raft of logs from Port Joggi s,
, Nova Scotia. She is to use a fifteen
inch hemp hawser, fastened to the
two-inch center chain, which runs the
whole length OF the raft, and two ten
inch hemp hawsers passing one on
each side of the raft, and connected
Ito it about 70 feet from its forward
and with lR-inch chains. The tow
will be 1000 feet astern OF the steam
ship.
The great raft was launched at Two
Rivers, Novia Scotia, on the 10Th of
November, and then remained at
anchor in the bay awaiting the Mi
randa. 1t contains %, 900 sticks of
spruce and pine timber, from 80 to 80
feet in length, and a great quantity of
beech, birch and maple timber, max
ing total of 100000 feet. The
diameter of the sticks runs from IL
inches to SO at the butts, and from 6
inches to 10 at the points. 1t cost the
owner, James d. Leary OF New York
between $3l 900 and $4,000, and the
contract price for towing it to his basin
on Nowtown creek, Long Island, oppo-
site New York, $4,000, exclusive of
the cost of the hawsers.
The method constructing the raft is
new, and has been patented in this
country, Canada and Europe. 1t re-
q, red six months with the employ
